Purchasing a SIM Card
A SIM card is a small plastic card that goes inside cell phones to allow them to work cheaply and effectively while traveling abroad. Most phones are SIM-card compatible, but you can check with your provider before coming to make sure.
You can buy either a Palestinian or an Israeli SIM card for your phone. The process for purchasing a SIM card in Palestine is simple. Getting a SIM card in Palestine gives you a local Palestinian number and the ability to receive free incoming calls at an affordable cost. The price for a SIM card ranges from 10-20 shekels. However, sometimes you can get a SIM card for free.
Plans for Palestinian SIM cards are prepaid so there is no contract and if you use up all your minutes, it is easy to add more. There are shops all around Hebron, including many that are within walking distance from the Excellence Center where travelers can purchase a SIM card and add more minutes to their phone plan.
Palestinian SIM cards are cheap and have not 3G.. You can buy an Israeli SIM card in any city in Israel. A SIM card with one month’s worth of data and calls costs around 90 shekels ($25 USD).
If you choose not to purchase a SIM card, you can rely on Wi-Fi and utilize WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger to message and make phone calls.
